Sorry, I didn't see your post until Ricky posted it. If you got the coin do it, best mod I've done.

 

Cyclevision has an extension that moves the boards, and the controls forward

Jim,

I would say, from how you set your feet, that the set up I just did puts our feet in the same general area. difference being, I can shift/brake w/o moving my feet... But you get to keep your boards, and you have a crashbar.

Your sled is waay more sick, so you win.

 

Damn those look comfy...I'd be falling asleep if I was that relaxed.

 

dude, you ain't kidding.

I may have to get some tunes, to keep me up

 

Pics look awesome! Who makes your forwards?
I have the HD ones and want to see if the ANess ext will fit mine.

 

those are the HD forwards man... its all good!!

I really recommend the Ness setup, my local HD had it in stock... 199.99 (yes, it is 179.99 at Ness' website, but then I would have had to pay shipping and wait for it lol)

it comes with the longer shift-rod, and the new brake line you will need. Only took about an hour or so... we did remove the front/lower exhaust pipe to get easier access to the brake control (you know what I mean if you already did the forward conversion). I think the left side took a whole 10 mins.

 

Matt,
I like your set up bro! your way is probably a better set up. To be honest I don't do long rides with my softail, it rarely gets 50 miles in a week, mainly because I have it set up for shows and showing off haha.

When I want to be comfortable for long hauls I cheat and use this bike.

2001 Ultra

 

Cheater!!

lol

nice ride (again)

In all seriousness, I only have the one, so all of my mods have been about comfort, etc...

windshield, risers, forwards, even a duffle-bag thing on the back for gear. It might not be pretty, but is sure fun to ride (kinda like my... nevermind)

 

If you want a quick way to change that shifter up you can paint it with Rustoleum truck bed coating like I did. Looks better IMO and only cost me $8 instead of what HD wants for a new lever.
